Will the game be free for people who pledged on Patreon or Subscribe Star on release? And if yes, will it be free for those who bought it several times on Itch.io?

There was a period for early backers on our Patreon to receive this reward, but in general this won't be the case D:

Seems strange considering most of the monthly updates arguably aren't worth the constant 8 dollar drop. why not set up a 30$ or even 40$ so lifetime purchase option? Like no offense, it seems a little...milky?

Like for example Claire's Quest does this. when you've pledged a certain amount you get total access to any update of the game. IMO that is incredible business practice.

Assuming we do early access further along in development, which is likely, the game will be available at a single price from that point on. I certainly don't recommend purchasing every release if you'd prefer to wait for content to build up. Know that the funding certainly helps us though, as due to our pirate friends sabotaging our work and Patreon stonewalling us, I'm now paying $10-12k/mo out of pocket to develop the game, and working 80+ hour weeks at a loss ^-^.

Yeah this should be an alternative to subscribing so don't look at it as buying the same game over and over, you gotta look at it as supporting the game while also getting access to the changes they're implementing over time.
